Weird fluttering in abdomen

12 replies

I have been experiencing weird fluttering sensations that feel like baby kicks. I have a Mirena coil, I'm peri-menopausal and the emergency pregnancy test that I took is negative. What could this feeling be? Do I need to worry about an unplanned pregnancy?

I get this quite often. Have no idea what it is but as you say it feels like a baby fluttering about and I'm definitely not pregnant

I used to get them in my 40s. Made me very very worried, until I realised I have absurdly no reason to be worried GrinI dont really get then now that I'm in my 50s but yes, do take a pregnancy test if there is the slightest chance you may be pregnant. A wee peri menopausal baby is not as rare as you think.

Wind

My guess is wind. I'm at the same stage - perimenopausal. My digestive system has taken on a life of its own and the little pops and flutters of wind within my abdomen are just beyond annoying now.

I get this sometimes. Definitely just wind I think, or some other weird internal twitch that is not pregnancy related!

Wind or bowel spasms. I get it all the time. I never noticed it before I had babies, but it feels exactly the same. Definitely not pregnant.

It is wind. I thought I was peri menopausal but got caught out with a surprise pregnancy. Whilst I was still pregnant (had a missed MC) I most definitely did NOT get those flutterings!

Wind.

I've had this alot of times I put it down to wind 🤷‍♀️

You use contraception? You have had a negative test?

I think you are probably OK Shock

Thanks for the reassurance. It really had me worried but I'm glad to hear several of you have experienced the same thing and that it's probably just wind!

It happens to me all the time and I've never been pregnant. I think it's wind.
